D-Jet FI trigger points Options

[TheIronSausage]

Hi all,

I'm working on a '76 914. It's encumbered by being controlled by the malady that is D-Jetronic. Like every other important component in the system, the fuel injection trigger points seem to impossible to source. I've searched around, and found an article on this site suggesting Volvo sources. That article was from 2011, and I have a D-Jet Volvo, and was unable to find points or any other parts for it two years ago. That Volvo now wears a set of SU carbs as a result. The customer seems insistent on keeping his car as original as possible. In concept I have no problems with that request, but in practice, parts are hard to find, and expensive when found. Do any of you fine folk have a source for these? I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Matt

It could very well be a mixture of my prejudices as a mechanic working on broken junk, and my prejudices as a mechanic who comes into cheap or free broken junk that I end up daily driving. Since I've never owned anything nice (over forty antiques, eight currently) that adds up to a lot of great stories about getting hilariously stranded, and grumbles about common failures. In my experience of owning one, and repairing dozens of others, I guess I see it as a system more prone to failure than most.. I'm a bigger fan of KJet/CIS, as in my other two Volvos. I've completely rebuilt or replaced almost everything mechanical on my $600 '81 245 with about 400,000 on it, but not once in three years of driving the wheels off of it have I had to touch the injection system. Same with my rolling parts wagon, a '74 145.. I bought it to part out to the other two cars, but it starts every time, and keeps truckin. The parts wagon has easily seen twenty years of absolute neglect and botched repairs. Annoying, I needed the parts.
